ARE WE BEING INVADED?
Bored? Wondering what to do that will be stimulating and exciting? Why not make a reservation for next year’s Little Green Men Festival in Hopkinsville, Kentucky? I’m not talking about seasick Munshkins or a gay touring company of leprechauns singing Paul Anka hit songs.
It seems that Hopkinsville, Ky. is host to the annual conference of UFO enthusiasts and experts. Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle was the guest speaker. He entertained the assembled crowd with tales of what he believes are some of the more fascinating, provable cases reported. Davenport chortled (he’s taking cough medicine for his chortle) that he has received more phone calls than he cares to count that have an unusual opening: “Please believe me, I’m not crazy.” The audience of wacko’s laughed, applauded and waved the antennas sticking out of their heads at him.
After a lifetime of studying what many brush off as science fiction, Davenport feels certain that UFOs exist and have been witnessed on Earth, and second, that the government has known about them for decades. This year’s festival commemorated the 50th anniversary of the August 21, 1955, report of an alien invasion at Kelly. The publicity put out by the festival didn’t elucidate “the Kelly” invaded. Was it a military installation, or some sexually active cheerleader named, Kelly?
Davenport has spent the last 11 years filing accounts and eyewitness reports of UFO sightings from a reporting center that consists of one phone, one fax, one Web master and one toaster, and is almost completely funded by Davenport and donations from Pluto and Mars.
Peter said his perspective of UFO sightings took on a whole new dimension when he was 6-years-old on a July night in 1954. Davenport said that’s when he, his mom and brother saw a strange object in the sky while at a drive-in theater on the edge of the St. Louis Airport. “We didn’t know it at the time, but my father, and people in the tower on the north side of the airport, were looking at the same object with their binoculars,” he said. What his father was doing looking through binoculars instead of watching the movie starring Oscar Homulka and Anne Sheridan was never explained.
Davenport said the object was about the size of the moon, bright red like a traffic signal and slightly oval in shape. “And it stopped, almost stock-still, in the sky to the east of our location. People were getting out of their cars,” Peter said. “It was casting a red light…all over the theater, all over the airport, as far as we could see.” When notified, authorities claimed the red light was from a police car trying to stop exotic petting from teens in Nash Ramblers.
Since then, Davenport has logged literally thousands of calls about colored lights, flying and hovering disks on his web site, at www.ufocenter.com, but he’s hesitant to say that all the calls are legitimate. One caller reported that he was taken aboard a Flying Saucer and little green aliens measured his in-seam, shook their round heads and let him go. A little old lady caller swore that people from Mars captured her, performed experiments on her body, while she was asleep, and when she woke up she was running in the Preakness. She paid $28.
Obviously the debate about UFOs has raged for years. Most people don’t believe in them or in aliens landing on earth. However, there are many military personnel, pilots and law enforcement officials who are not so sure. I urge you to go to the UFO website and see for yourself. A recent sighting report from Meridian, Idaho claims this family was driving home from Fruitland, Idaho when from out of nowhere a strange light approached the side of the car at ground level and then flew right over them. “It hardly made any sound at all. Maybe something like a bird’s tweet…or a fart.” The driver claimed that he could see 4 bright white lights that were round in shape. “I felt like I was being watched for a split second. One of the lights seemed to wink at me,” he said. “After it flew over the car it dove into the field next to us and its light went out. It looked like a long wing or saucer. It suddenly whipped around and jumped back up in the sky and hovered above the trees.” The driver was so nervous he dropped the gallon of moonshine he was chugalugging when he first spotted the UFO. His only complaint to authorities was that after the event his left foot grew 3 more toes.
Are there UFOs or is it just the imagination of susceptible people? I tend to believe that there are aliens and dangerous visitors from outer space – how else can you explain the strange people residing in the White House?
